这疲倦大脑中的某种声音，
总会呼唤我们对彼此的爱。
00:42

我有无数的相片，
01:05
I've got the one of you
in that dancing dress

但我看起来有些傻，
在那暗淡的灯光下。

我在渐渐沉没，

01:33
I think about long distance rates
instead of kissing you babe

我只能想着长途话费，
而不是亲吻你，宝贝。

如果我等你再久一点，
01:44

22
138527
4383
我对打电话给你和想念你感到厌倦，
希望我抱着你入睡。
02:34
and dreaming I slept with you
23
142934
2881
不要误解我，
我仍然无可救药的爱着你，
我仍然无可救药的爱着你，
02:37
Don't get me wrong
I still desperately love you

150123
3753
我只想让我们相爱。
02:45
I just want us to love just instead
26
153900
4660
但我只是想着，想着，
02:50
But I was just thinking and thinking,

时光飞逝，我心依旧。
03:10
and time is running me still

178314
4726
如果我再等久一些，
03:15
If I wait for you longer
31
183064
2580
我的情感就越发强烈。
03:17
my affection is stronger
32
185668
3934
我...我只是在想。

厌倦了每周一次的电话，
比起亲吻你，
我却担心长途话费。

Singing is sharing.
42
240403
2176
歌唱就是一种分享。
04:16
When you sing, you have to know
what you're talking about intimately,
what you're talking about intimately,
43
244314
4294
当你歌唱的时候，
你需要知道内心的想法，
你需要知道内心的想法，
愿意与他人分享你的观点，

04:30
and I ask: what are the intentions
behind this architecture or this product
behind this architecture or this product
47
258592

或是这个餐厅，这顿饭，
背后有怎样的意义？
背后有怎样的意义？
04:36

如果你的意图是让人们
对你留下深刻印象，
对你留下深刻印象，
或是赢得掌声，
04:42
or to get the big applause at the end,
50
270004

04:44
then you are taking, not giving.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Teitur - Singer-songwriterWhether they’re sung in in English or his native Faroese, Teitur laces his deceptively innocent songs with often stinging hooks.
Why you should listen
Teitur crafts songs with unexpected lyrical twists portraying everything from awkward love affairs to lost weekends. Although he’s written hits for singers like Seal and Corinne Bailey Rae, the best interpreter for Teitur’s songs is himself: his half-dozen solo albums have won him accolades from the Danish Royal family, the Guardian and fans around the world.
His album Story Music (recorded in a former ice factory) features contributions from legendary Beach Boys arranger Van Dyke Parks and 78 musicians gathered from his native Faroe Islands.
